The Farallon Recorder Quartet has been exploring the repertoire for four recorders since 1996. The quartet's first recording will feature the music of Ludwig Senfl, one of the geniuses of the German Renaissance. When playing Renaissance music, the Farallon Recorder Quartet plays on a matched set of instruments made by Adriana Breukink and modeled after the set in the Vienna Kunsthistorisches Museum. The Farallon Islands are a group of islands, made up of high cliffs, situated off the coast of San Francisco and providing a home for many species of birds.
